Our Natural Woodlands

UUCCH is on 17 of the most delightful acres in Cherry Hill consisting of the highest spot in Cherry Hill on which we have: our new "Church on the Hill", a former peach orchard and lowlands with native ferns and Jack-in-the-Pulpits. This land was wisely acquired by our founders in 1959-1970. Since that time we have spent countless hours working the property until it now has about 500 different tree, plant and shrub taxa. - the largest fraction of this planting and development work being done by Ken, a former professional landscape architect. We have about 100 memorial plantings, 10 memorial benches (of which 5 are teak with one shown in the adjacent photo) and several picnic tables. We were, for a time, members of the American Association of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta since the wide variety of our plantings and our continuous grounds maintenance are of arboretum quality.
We are very proud of these natural woodlands and are also anxious to share them with all - for picnicking, bird watching or reconnecting with our natural environment. Come visit, walk, sit, enjoy.
